Kate’s back, baby!

Magic Tides by Ilona Andrews

January 22, 2023 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars While this book is the start of a new chapter in the lives of Kate Daniels and her family, I suspect this book will work a lot better if you’ve read at least some of the previous thirteen books and various novellas. As always, I would recommend strongly skipping the first book (as do the authors themselves). Start with book 2, Magic Burns. Set seven years after Magic Triumphs (and about two years before the events of Blood Heir), Kate, her former Beast-Lord […]

Not enough dragon

The Clockwork Ice Dragon by Liz Delton

December 30, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

The Clockwork Ice Dragon is kind of a mix of “Gift of the Magi”, Polar Express, a romance, and a steampunk science adventure. The characters and the world have some good promise; the one problem really is that the novella just doesn’t have the space to really get into the details that would make the whole thing amazing. The way an inventor/engineer can really make something of themselves is to get into the union of the Magistrate of Inventors, and Aurelia has her one chance […]

“Because I know that no matter what, I’m wonderful.”

A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot #1) by Becky Chambers

December 7, 2022 by ardaigle 2 Comments

As the year is winding down I find myself in the position of staring aspirationally at my reading goal. I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet, so I am on the hunt for small books that will be a good way to spend my time and get me one step closer to that end. Clocking in at a mere 147 pages this little novella will charm, amaze, and move you. The only reason I wasn’t full-on sobbing at the end (cathartically, not with […]

Can’t leave justice up to God.

Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse

November 5, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

It took me a minute to wrap my head around Rebecca Roanhorse’s fantasy western novella, Tread of Angels. Some part of my brain is still immersed in her Between Earth and Sky series so I was a bit resistant to the Western town setting. But, as always, Roanhorse delivers a gripping story. Celeste Semyaza and her sister, Mariel, are half-Fallen (their mother was descended from the Fallen Angels) in the mining town of Goetia. Celest can pass as an Elect, and deals cards at Eden. […]

Alright I get it, and I’m on board!

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

October 26, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

BINGO  – Rec’d by nearly every Cannonballer at this point There is a Security Unit (SecUnit) assigned to protect a group of scientific researchers made up of humans and augmented humans. Typically, these SecUnits are cyborgs with a strong governor unit that very carefully controls the actions and decisions of the cyborg. And for good reason. SecUnits are designed and built to provide deadly security if needed. What this group of researchers don’t know is their SecUnit has broken his governor unit, watches soap operas […]
